Merge branch 'vlan-reorder'
Vladislav Yasevich says:
====================
Fix issues with vlans without REORDER_HEADER
A while ago Phil Sutter brought up an issue with vlans without
REORDER_HEADER and bridges. The problem was that if a vlan
without REORDER_HEADER was a port in the bridge, the bridge ended
up forwarding corrupted packets that still contained the vlan header.
The same issue exists for bridge mode macvlan/macvtap devices.
An additional issue with vlans without REORDER_HEADER is that stacking
them also doesn't work. The reason here is that skb_reorder_vlan_header()
function assumes that it on ETH_HLEN bytes deep into the packet. That
is not the case, when you a vlan without REORRDER_HEADER flag set.
This series attempts to correct these 2 issues.
1) To solve the stacked vlans problem, the patch simply use
skb->mac_len as an offset to start copying mac addresses that
is part of header reordering.
2) To fix the issue with bridge/macvlan/macvtap, the second patch
simply doesn't write the vlan header back to the packet if the
vlan device is either a bridge or a macvlan port. This ends up
being the simplest and least performance intrussive solution.
I've considered extending patch 2 to all stacked devices (essentially
checked for the presense of rx_handler), but that feels like a broader
restriction and _may_ break existing uses.
